Congratulations! You made it! You survived and excelled in your student teaching. You are now a science teacher! If you would, take a few minutes to share your wisdom about how to negotiate this difficult year with the students who are following in your footsteps by answering the following questions.
a. What are some things students should do in their fall practicum to make their student teaching go more smoothly?
Get out to the schools as much as you can. This will help you develop a relationship between you and the students and also between you and your CT. Stay on top of all of your work both for your classes and for your placement. Also be on time, always follow thru with what you say you are going to do and ask as many questions as you can. The more you know your CT and your students the better it will be when you begin student teaching.
b. What 430 topics/assignments should students make sure are addressed in detail to prepare them for student teaching?
The unit plan I feel is one of the most important assignments in 430 because if you are able to do it on what you will be teaching it gives you a head start in terms of planning. You also get the chance to share your ideas with your CT and get their feedback as well.
c. Help the next group of science education student teachers by completing the thought: "If I knew in September what I know now, I could have been better prepared for student teaching if I had ...."
Spent more time getting organized and better managed my time.
d. Are there other words of wisdom/encouragement that you want to share? Find a morning routine that works for you and stick to it. Organization can either cause you stress or take it away, be organized.
